\ Bar IIarbor special to the Bangor Wing
and Courier says: Mr.. +. II. Moses has built
reception room, twenty feet deep. to the rear
of the Pine and Palm. which is finished in the
roughened plaster of which he is the origina-
tor. painted in blue, shading from the very
deepest tints to a delicate robins egg. One end
of the room is finished by large, deep fire
place, built of unhewn granite from Otter
Creek. The mantle shelf, roughly ly-hewn
slab of granite, which looks as though, We're it
polished, it would rival the famous Scotch
granite, is eight feet six inches long, 2s inches
wide and 6 inches thick. To say that the design
is one of Moses own creation is to declare that
It is artistic and unique to the highest degree
The room will be furnished with Portuguese
furniture and the floor will be covered with
costly rugs.

he read with interest:
The American party is In favor of so amend
Ing the laws of immigration as to prevent the
coming to our shores Of all aliens who are
criminals or paupers; of all who are not of
moral character, intellectual capacity and
physical health, to give assurance of their
value as citizens, and In favor of restricting
the importation of all laborers under contract
of hire IN any industrial or mechanical pur-
suits. The American party is I'm favor of the
immediate and unconditional repeal of all
naturalization laws, reserving the rights of all
who havein good faith declared their intention
of becoming American citizens. Political con-
troversies Of whatever character existing In
other countries shall not become subjects of
agitation or consideration in the United States
of America. Nonresident aliens shall not be
permitted to own lands In the United States,
nor permitted to receive the same by inherit
ance. The boycott Is an alien and cowardIy
device, the growth and transplant of foreign
soil, and shall find no favor or indulgence In
the American party.
